Whoever at the city is responsible for granting permits and the terms thereof to road construction crews should be fired for gross incompetence. Immediately. The state of downtown is basically undriveable and has been for months. The entire core is premised on a series of one way streets and it seems like roughly half of the blocks are either shut altogether or have some significant impediment or bottleneck causing issues.
This is just totally unacceptable... there always has been construction, but not in a manner that is completely debilitating like this. You have to impose conditions on these companies that they don't just get to shut everything down while they're doing their jobs, limit the amount of space they can use and strike a reasonable balance between work being done and the usability of public space.
Infuriating.
